Where Confidence Is Genuinely Returning

Ashburton is showing some of the clearest signs of returning confidence in this update, clearance up 6.6 per cent to 70.2 per cent and days on market down 17.0 per cent to 44 days. Unit sales have jumped sharply too, up 71.4 per cent this year, with prices up 7.4 per cent to $965,500.

House prices are up a healthy 4.3 per cent to $1,882,000 as well, even as sales volume has eased slightly. That combination of improving clearance, faster sales and rising prices is a genuinely strong signal, even as broader buyer sentiment elsewhere remains more cautious.

With downsizers the dominant buyer type and family homes continuing to draw strong interest, Ashburton is proving to be one of the more encouraging markets in this update, with buyers and vendors increasingly meeting on price.
